I have watched a lot of footage of Ronaldo and Maraddona at Barcelona and both played fantastic football at the Nou Camp, possibly thier best, as far as Ronaldo is concerned. Plus who can foget that goal Ronaldo scored with that run from the half way line.
it def wasn't the best footie Maradona played. Ronaldo also played a lot longer for Barcelona, while Maradona had a short career there that also included a long term injury after a brutal foul committed on him buy that guy from Bilbao
fair enough, but of the footage i have seen of both the players playing while they were at Barcelona, i found it hard to say which player was better, i am sort of swaying for Maradona
Not that it's really relevant but Ronaldo only played 1 season at Barcelona. I haven't seen much of Maradona at Barcelona but Ronaldo had a wonderful season which was great by just about any player's standard.
In Ronaldo's single season at Barcelona he scored 47 goals in 49 appearences. Alot of those were Ronaldo running through entire defensive systems on his own. The man truly a fenomeno then.
Ronaldo has said that he trys to base his playng on his Barcelona days. Some of his best goals in my opinion were at barcona, infact probably his top 3 ever.
